One Loop vs LevLr

One Loop is a 10-track loop-station designed for singers, songwriters & instrumentalists. Whether you want a personalised backing track, or need to record an idea for your next big hit, One Loop brings performance and recording straight to your phone. Features: • Simple, easy to use looping. • Built-in studio quality effects: Noise Gate, EQ, Compression & Reverb. • Advanced layer control and grouping. • Metronome selection with a variety of backing percussion. • MIDI support and mappable control for hands free performance. • Supports external audio interfaces; up to 8 channels of audio input. Recording Whether you choose your device’s built-in microphone for quick and easy use, or an external interface for multiple routing options, One Loop encourages portable creativity. Don’t be restricted by the limitations of a computer when all you need is your phone… and something to record! Enjoy the app’s seamless looping and build up to 10 beautiful layers with ease. Save your projects for later reference, you’ll never forget those 3am ideas ever again! Make sure to wear headphones for clean recordings with no feedback issues. Complete Control One Loop gives you complete control to form your best ideas. Each layer is mute-able and has an adjustable volume slider to shape your overall sound. Assign each layer to a bank of 4 groups (A to D) for quick variation of instrumentation, or different sections of a song. Setup your Bluetooth or USB midi devices and assign their parameters to trigger any of One Loop’s functions for greater control and smooth performances. Manage Your Mix One Loop gives you the controls to refine your recordings with studio quality effects designed by audio engineers: Noise Gate, EQ, Compression and Reverb. Wherever you’re recording, either in a quiet room or a busy outdoor environment, you can reduce any unwanted noise by adjusting the Noise Gate’s threshold and envelope, to create cleaner recordings. Boost or Cut the Input’s EQ frequency bands (Low, Mid and High) with a +/- 15dB range to shape the sound of your loop layers. Adjust the acoustic environment of your mix, from a small garage to a large cathedral, by changing the size & effect percentage of the Reverb. Settle a busy, complex layered mix using the Bus Compressor’s threshold and ratio controls.

LevLr Compressor / limiter Plugin (AUv3) LevLr is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic or GarageBand. Overview The LevLr "leveller" is a super simple dynamics processor with just two modes and two controls. If you find tinkering with compression ratios, makeup gain and attack / decay times, confusing or time-consuming, you might like to give LevLr a try, especially as it's free! Parameters Active - Toggles the effect On or Off. Mode - Changes between Comp (compressor) and Limit (limiter) mode. Typically you would use Comp on an individual track, and Limit on a master output. In - Determines how hard you drive the compression "circuit". As you increase the gain, the compression effect will become more obvious, with an overall increase in perceived volume and "weight". Out - Allows you to reduce the output in cases where you have the desired amount of compression, but the track is now too dominant in your mix. You generally don't need to adjust this unless your In setting is more than about 6dB. With so few controls, it's pretty easy to dial-in LevLr to taste, but it also has three very simple presets to get you going: Default - a general-purpose Comp setting that can help a track sit in the mix a bit better. Track Compressor - this is heavier / more obvious compression, with a little gain compensation. Master Limiter - this can work well on a master bus and makes everything seem LOUDER! That's pretty much all there is to it, but for the technically minded... The In value is basically the compression threshold, so for example 6dB means compression will kick-in somewhere around the -6dB level. The compression ratios used are 4:1 and 12:1 for Comp and Limit mode respectively. Automatic gain compensation is applied internally depending on the threshold and ratio. The attack time is extremely fast (close to 0ms) meaning that LevLr should handle just about anything you can throw at it without exceeding 0dB at its output. Please do take a look at my other AudioUnits on the App Store if you can spare the time. Supporting paid apps allows me to release free ones as a little thankyou from time to time.
